In my opinion, it depends. I don't think it's worth the weight and complication above about 200 mph if you are using steel for wheels and suspension, but .... it can be very valuable in the first two

NOTE: I don't "know" what the answer is..... I do know that, generally, the less you monkey with airflow, the better off you are. Isn't it better to let the tire "try" to pump air and fail than for i
